“Heather does outstanding with my two girls! My littlest baby lupita who has always been very fearful of strangers absolutely loves her. She usually takes a while to warm up to new people but met heather the first day and loved her. My oldest girl Nana is a big love bug so she of course had to be all over her the first day she met her. Heather made the process of trusting someone other than myself to love and care for my babies as I would a very easy and stressless process. She accommodated all the special needs of my girls, checked in frequently, and answered any questions I had. She was very flexible with her schedule when a change of walking time was needed. I have nothing but good things to say about heather and could not have picked a better person to trust my baby girls with.”

“Melissa is fantastic. My little anxious dog is new to drop in visits while I'm gone, but Melissa showed her exactly the patience and kindness she needed to get comfortable. Olive treats her like a great friend every time she sees her now! I'd recommend Melissa to anyone without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.

About: I have had pets and taken care of them since I was 8 years old. I was a 10 year 4-h member and a HUGE animal lover! I am ready to care for your loved ones as if they were my own! I work in the operating room and my husband is a firefighter so one of us is usually always home to be able to help care for your animals! We have 1 dog and 2 cats. Our daily and weekly routine allow us time to attend to animals we will be taking care of. We will treat your home as if it's our own! We will look after your pets and clean messes they make while you are away. If you are using us for longer sitting (vacations etc.) we will take out and bring in your trash, get the mail, water plants and clean after your pets! No one wants to come home from a vacation to a messy home! This is all included with our service.

About: Whether it be dogs, cats, horses, cows, or any animal in-between, I've been raised around animals all of my life. I've had a dog that I've cared for on my own since I was nine years old and couldn't imagine my life without one. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I'm more than comfortable handling your pet from the puppy/kitten stage to their golden senior years, and have experience with medication administration and special care attention. I currently have a three year old Australian Shepherd of my own, and so have no issue handling dogs with a stronger need for mental stimulation and exercise. Whether it be a simple check-in at the home, to a walk around the neighborhood, to taking your dog to the local park or joining me on a run, I'm happy to ensure that we keep your dog to the schedule he/she prefers at your comfort level! If you happen to have a feline friend instead, I have several years experience babysitting for the neighborhood and college friends' cats, and am more than happy to watch over your fur baby while you're away.

“Thanks! I really appreciate -”

About: Hi! My name is Jacee. I’ve had the joy of growing up in a home with at least three dogs at any given time, so I’m very familiar with the care, attention, and love that our furry companions need. More recently, I’ve also started house-sitting for friends with cats, and it’s given me a deeper understanding of how to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their humans are away. Whether it's dogs or cats, I’m confident in my ability to provide the care and attention your fur baby deserves! Pet care fits into my routine in a really natural and enjoyable way. I work full time, but I’m able to step out during my lunch break to take a dog for a walk or spend time with a cat for some play, company, or feeding. On days when I work from home (which happens a few times a week), I have more flexibility and can offer longer visits or more frequent check-ins. I’m also available on weekends, which allows for even more dedicated time with your pet. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love fitting it into my day whenever possible! While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m very comfortable and respectful when caring for pets in their own space. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed in their environment, and I treat every home I enter with the same care and professionalism I’d expect from someone looking after my own. I would be sure to follow any directions exactly!

About: Animals are everything to me. Everyday I work with animals, Im a trained vet assistant who is in school to be a vet tech. I have fostered both young and old. If anything were to happen to your pets I can take them into my work place and discuss treatment over the phone. I work full time but my husband and I have every good schedule on letting out dogs. I also have a job that allows me to clock out to let them out midday. My animals are normal fed 7-9 am and 6-8 pm. My house is baby proofed as some of my babies are too smart for their own good. But I do have cameras to be able to see them and alarm systems. All of my pets have been around fosters of all shapes and sizes so pets coming into my home need to be comfortable with that.

“I can't recommend Kim enough. She obviously loves dogs is very reliable and kept me informed often.”

About: Your pet is welcome in my home! They will get lots of TLC, play time, feeding, walking & love. My house is small but live on 2 acres in the country. My yard is not fenced so I walk your pets on a leash & there are trails in the woods where they love to walk too. I also have a tie out if they dont do well on a leash & some are fine to free roam but they are never left unattended. I can take 2 small to medium dogs or 2 large or 1 giant dog. I will also transport your pet(s) to & from your home if needed. This will be an additional fee. I have been professionally petsitting for the past 17 years. References are supplied upon request. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.

About: Regardless of the size, breed, or age of your pet, I can promise we will be best friends by the end of our visit! I have taken care of just about every type of dog, from corgi puppies to 10 year old boxer-pit bull mixes. I grew up with two yellow labs, and know how to treat your four legged friend as an extension of my own family. I also volunteer for Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Paws, a service dog training organization. From the 2 years I have assisted this program, I have gained experience in fostering dogs of all ages, dog walking, general care, taking dogs to appointments, and potty training. I am a part-time student at UNC Chapel Hill, and do not currently work. I have one 2 hour class Monday-Friday, other than that I will have ample time throughout the day to care for your dog! I will walk/exercise your dog whenever necessary, have a large and easily accessed grass area within a 2 minute walk of my apartment, and have no other pets that could interfere with my ability to care for your dog. If your dog is active, I will happily play with and entertain it, I can also simply keep it company and work on school work. Plus, I’ll send lots of photos!

About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!

“Took great care of my corgi puppy, Rudy! Very punctual and spend extra time with him playing after his walk. Followed all care instructions and couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Lily!”

About: I have house sat and pet sat my entire life starting at about 10 years old. I am fairly new to the area and am excited to meet some new furry friends and get to know the area a little more I am currently waiting to hear back from jobs so I am very open to any times! If I hear back from a job I still plan to be available during mornings and nights! I follow the instructions that are left for me to provide the same schedule as the pet follows when normal family is home. I also do my best to befriend pets and keep them calm and comfortable while they are in my care

“Abby was great! My little dog Maggie loved Abby from the first meeting. Abby sent me plenty of pictures of her walks with Maggie and was very easy to work with. Thanks Abby, see you again soon!”
